Eastern Neck Island and the intricate peninsulas of the upper Chesapeake Bay define this landscape along the boundary of Kent and Queen Anne's counties. The Chester River divides the territory, separating the large wildlife refuge areas to the west from the farming necks to the east. Small communities like Crosby, McKinleyville, and Cliffs City serve as hubs for the surrounding maritime and agricultural lands. The shoreline is exceptionally complex, marked by dozens of named coves and points such as Langfords Bay, Comegys Bight, and Jerrys Cove. On the eastern side of the river, Tilghman Neck and Corsica Neck show a pattern of large estates and farm lanes, including Walnut Grove Farm Ln and Reeds Creek Farm Ln. For family historians, the Gouldtown Cem near Queenstown Creek provides a specific point of genealogical interest in this coastal Maryland setting.
